Avon council imposes temporary moratorium on Western Reserve development
Summary
Council members voted 7-0 on April 20 to adopt Ordinance No. 46-26, which amends Ordinance No. 120-25 to impose a temporary moratorium on future Western Reserve development under §1262.07 concurrently with an R-3 moratorium so the city can review applicable Ohio statutes and its codified ordinances.
The Avon City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 46-26 at its April 20 special meeting to impose a temporary moratorium on future Western Reserve development under §1262.07, to run concurrently with an existing moratorium on R-3 development. The ordinance, which amends Ordinance No. 120-25 and includes an emergency clause, was passed 7-0.
Clerk of Council Barbara Brooks read the ordinance title: "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 120-25 TO IMPOSE A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON FUTURE WESTERN RESERVE DEVELOPMENT UNDER §1262.07 WITHIN THE CITY CONCURRENTLY WITH THE MORATORIUM ON R-3 DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW THE CITY ADMINISTRATION, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND CITY COUNCIL TIME TO REVIEW APPLICABLE OHIO STATUTES AND REGULATIONS ALONG WITH THE CITY’S CODIFIED ORDINANCES RELATIVE TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT". Council Member Scott Radcliffe (4th Ward) moved to suspend the rules; Council Member Mary Berges (Council-at-Large) seconded. The suspension passed 7-0. Radcliffe then moved to adopt Ordinance No. 46-26, seconded by Council Member Anthony Moore (3rd Ward); adoption passed on a 7-0 vote.
The stated purpose of the ordinance is procedural: it pauses new Western Reserve development approvals under the cited code section to allow the city administration, Planning Commission, and City Council to review relevant Ohio statutes, state regulations, and the city’s codified ordinances. The transcript records no further debate or public comment on the moratorium and does not specify a length or expiration date for the temporary moratorium beyond the emergency adoption.
